Taft McWhorter Pop-Up Exhibit
During this Pop-Up Exhibit, come and view an array of work by Taft McWhorter, one of the most widely collected artists in Houston, Texas.
Taft has been exhibiting his contemporary art for 20 years, amassing a dedicated group of over 900 local and international collectors. He embraces the dichotomy of vision versus freedom; control versus chaos. In the spirit of freedom and chaos, he employs a plethora of textures, colors and mediums while trying not to limit himself to any single style or form.
Taft states, “My paintings represent whatever it is I am feeling at the time. One layer at a time, I allow each painting to simply become”.
The Business of the Art Business
In this FREE Workshop designed for artists, Taft McWhorter will share his 20 years of experience in the professional visual art business, focusing heavily on the Houston art scene.
Topics will include who to know, where to show, marketing, pricing, donating, festivals and fairs, art gallery representation, negotiating your art, building an audience and many more vital subjects.
